Not nsec resolution perhaps, but a higher than msec resolution might be useful in some cases. The fact that select was updated in the POSIX specs to support a timespec timeout (pselect) and poll only supports msec timeout might indicate that pselect is better suited for realtime use. Not to mention that pselect supports at least a 31 day timeout and that it can set the signal mask... --ms ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
